10-Guessing Game Challenge - Solution - Ipynb - Colab

The document outlines a guessing game challenge where players guess a randomly chosen number between 1 and 100, with specific feedback rules based on their guesses. It provides a step-by-step guide on implementing the game using Python, including input validation and feedback for warmer or colder guesses. The game concludes when the player correctly guesses the number, and the document encourages further learning by suggesting the creation of functions for repetitive tasks.

keyboard_arrow_down Guessing Game Challenge - Solution


Let's use while loops to create a guessing game.

The Challenge:

Write a program that picks a random integer from 1 to 100, and has players guess the number. The rules are:

1. If a player's guess is less than 1 or greater than 100, say "OUT OF BOUNDS"
2. On a player's first turn, if their guess is

within 10 of the number, return "WARM!"


further than 10 away from the number, return "COLD!"

3. On all subsequent turns, if a guess is

closer to the number than the previous guess return "WARMER!"


farther from the number than the previous guess, return "COLDER!"

4. When the player's guess equals the number, tell them they've guessed correctly and how many guesses it took!

keyboard_arrow_down First, pick a random integer from 1 to 100 using the random module and assign it to a variable

Note: random.randint(a,b) returns a random integer in range [a, b] , including both end points.

import random

num = random.randint(1,100)

keyboard_arrow_down Next, print an introduction to the game and explain the rules

print("WELCOME TO GUESS ME!")


print("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100")
print("If your guess is more than 10 away from my number, I'll tell you you're COLD")
print("If your guess is within 10 of my number, I'll tell you you're WARM")
print("If your guess is farther than your most recent guess, I'll say you're getting COLDER")
print("If your guess is closer than your most recent guess, I'll say you're getting WARMER")
print("LET'S PLAY!")

WELCOME TO GUESS ME!


I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100
If your guess is more than 10 away from my number, I'll tell you you're COLD
If your guess is within 10 of my number, I'll tell you you're WARM
If your guess is farther than your most recent guess, I'll say you're getting COLDER
If your guess is closer than your most recent guess, I'll say you're getting WARMER
LET'S PLAY!

keyboard_arrow_down Create a list to store guesses

Hint: zero is a good placeholder value. It's useful because it evaluates to "False"

guesses = [0]

keyboard_arrow_down Write a while loop that asks for a valid guess. Test it a few times to make sure it works.

while True:

guess = int(input("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.\n What is your guess? "))

if guess < 1 or guess > 100:


print('OUT OF BOUNDS! Please try again: ')
continue

break

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.


What is your guess? 500
OUT OF BOUNDS! Please try again:
I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.
What is your guess? 50

keyboard_arrow_down Write a while loop that compares the player's guess to our number. If the player guesses correctly, break from the loop.
Otherwise, tell the player if they're warmer or colder, and continue asking for guesses.

Some hints:

it may help to sketch out all possible combinations on paper first!


you can use the abs() function to find the positive difference between two numbers
if you append all new guesses to the list, then the previous guess is given as guesses[-2]

while True:

# we can copy the code from above to take an input


guess = int(input("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.\n What is your guess? "))

if guess < 1 or guess > 100:


print('OUT OF BOUNDS! Please try again: ')
continue

# here we compare the player's guess to our number


if guess == num:
print(f'CONGRATULATIONS, YOU GUESSED IT IN ONLY {len(guesses)} GUESSES!!')
break

# if guess is incorrect, add guess to the list


guesses.append(guess)

# when testing the first guess, guesses[-2]==0, which evaluates to False


# and brings us down to the second section

if guesses[-2]:
if abs(num-guess) < abs(num-guesses[-2]):
print('WARMER!')
else:
print('COLDER!')

else:
if abs(num-guess) <= 10:
print('WARM!')
else:
print('COLD!')

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.

COLD!
I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.
What is your guess? 75
WARMER!

What is your guess? 83
COLDER!
I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.
What is your guess? 81
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU GUESSED IT IN ONLY 9 GUESSES!!

That's it! You've just programmed your first game!

In the next section we'll learn how to turn some of these repetitive actions into functions that can be called whenever we need them.
